By 2010 Marine Life Protection Act will close 20 percent of coast to fishing
This article does an interesting job of presenting some very divergent views on the MLPA process, but gets one major fact wrong: state marine reserves do not limit access, and therefore would not restrict swimming, kayaking, diving or surfing inside reserve boundaries. I like what Kate Hanley says about fishermen and conservationists actually working toward the same end: healthier oceans and more fish. As someone who served on the North Central Coast Regional Stakeholder Group, I can say firsthand that the MLPA process truly does allow for every interest--including fishing interests--to be considered in designing these MPAs. It's pretty amazing (and unusual) to go to a meeting and actually see folks from both sides working together for the same thing, but that's exactly what happens in the MLPA process.— January 7, 2009 5:13 p.m.
